"own that I, JOSEPH B'IJrm, a citi- York, in the county of New York andState of New York, .have invented, certain new and useful- Improvementsin Gearing, of

I I which the following is alfull, clear, and exact description, suchaswill enableothers skilled in the art to which it 'apperta'ins to makeand use'the same.

This invention relates to electrical ener- ,ating apparatus for 3automobiles-an regard tothemore s cific features-thereof, to the drivingmec anisin and associated parts of such apparatus. One of the objectsgenerator for automobiles ;-and the like which shall h'e'e conomic'al inconsumption of space and readily .adaptable to' meet various conditions.Anotherobject is toprovide I apparatus of the above nature 0t simple andchea -construction-and which is. notsus- [-cepti le to 'dirt or dusterliable'to in ury. .5.

Referring nowjtoFig; l the drawings in detail, there is shown-atl aninternal combus'tioncngine of'fthe' automobile type provided with acrank shaft 2, from which is driven, by the gears 3, a shaft 4 havingthereon the pump 5 and magneto 6, respectively communicatingw'ith the"jacket water Patented Sept. 24-, 1918.

paratus, as the storing post diagrammatically indicated at 9, thereremains adjacent shaft 4 acramped space only, in which is positionedanelectrical generating device 10. As best shown in Fig. 2, the generator10 ing bearings 12 and 13 and having fixed 'thereon a pinion l4. Bearing13 is incased within an annular shoulder 15 and 'journaled upon theouter side of this shoulder is a-swinging support or casing memberlfi.This'member, the shape of which is best indicated in Fig, '4: of thedrawings, has mounted therein a pin 17 upon which is loosely journaled apower-transmitting gear i provided with an armatureshaft 11 have 18 ofgreater diameter than the pinion 14 I and formed constantly to meshtherewith as the member 16 is swung about the collar '15.

. Mounted upon shaft 4 is a driving gear 19 adapted toiinesh with thegear-'18, and

by reason of the multiplication of speed .from the latter to thePlIIlOII llz, tliisgear need not be of large diameter. Moreover, as e Igear 18 is constantly in proper relation to the pinion, it .is necessarymerely that it be swung into mesh with the gear 19 in order,tocomplete'an efiicient drive, and, hence, the armature shaft need notbe positioned at an predetermined distance from shaft 4.

Thus, by my. invention, I avoid the practice of designing'a specialdynamo drive for every design of engine, having, due regard in everycase forthe choice of a convenient location for the dynamo not alreadyoccupied by, another accessory or accessories] of the engine. I achievethis result byfproviding a drive which maybe standard for any powerreduction .and which is inherently adapted to make a power connectionwith the dynamo regardless where,-.within limits, the, assembler may becompelledto locate said dynamo With respect to H1661]- gine. By reasonof this feature a large de-' 60 slightly difi'erentfrom" casing 23 toaccomthe drive would be complete and efiicient even though the gear 18is not disposed directly between gear 19 and pinion 14. There areprovided in the member 16 set-screws 20 whereby the parts may be lockedin proper position and this part has formed therein screw-holes 21 inthe flange 22, by which it supports a casing 23, bestshown in Fig. 5 ofthe drawings.

Casing 23 is longitudinally split, as at 24, and isprovided withcoacting pair of ears 25 to secure its halves in assembled position. Itis supported upon the casing member 16 not only by the screws in theholes 21 but by screws 26 as shown in Fig. 3.

In the use of the above described embodiment, the generatoris mounted inany convenient position, which may be ofiset from the shaft 4 eithervertically or horizontally, or both; The gear 18 'is then swung intoproper mesh with gear 19 and locked in position by the set-screw 20. Thecasing 23, the partsof which are. separated, is then fitted about, theshaft 4 and .assembled by means ofthe ears' 25 and secured in positionupon the swinging casing member 16. The drive is then-complete fromshaft 4 to the armature with the desired. multiplication of speed andwithout the necessity for using large gears.or .ca-refully mounting thegenerator in a predetermined position. -It is to be understood thatif itis desired. to

, "mount the generator with the gear 18 offset from the plane of shafts11 and 4, there will be used a casing 23 of such form as to permit thisarrangement of the parts. This casing not only protects all the gearingfrom the effect of dirt and dust, but guards the teeth of the vulnerableportions from its accessories.

In Figs; 7 and 8, there is shown a slightly wrenches or other tools uponthe. engine or diiferent embodiment of this invention, in which the pin.27 is somewhat longer than the corresponding pin 17 of the first described construction and has mounted there- ,on a pinion 28 fixed to thegear 18 of a materially smaller size. Pinion 28 meshes "with the gear 19and permits a further mul- 28 may be ofproper pitch for gear 19- and thegear 18 of a pitch equal to that of the pinion 14, The casing 29 is of aform modate and protect the change in form of drive, but itis assembledand held in sub stantially thev same manner.

It will thus be seen that there is provided apparatus in which the aimsof this invention are achieved, and whlch, wh le permltting any desiredmultiplication of speed and full protection of the vulnerable parts,nevertheless imposes no strict limitations as to the position of thegenerator and is adapted for use in the most crowded relations. Theparts, moreover, are of the simplest and most durable construction andare of thoroughlywreliable and quiet action.

As many changes could be made in theabove construction and manyapparently widely different embodiment of this inven tion could be madewithout departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all ten edto cover all of the generic and specific features of the inventionherein described and all statements of the scope of- I the invention,which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall therebetween.

Having described my invention, what I- claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is: I

In apparatus of the class described, in combination, a drivingelement, a driven element, and means for transmitting power between saidelements ata constant ratio, said means being adjustably mounted withrespect tothe axis of'one of said elements, whereby said elements may bedisposed at any suitable position relative to each other,

and said power'transmitting means adjusted to transmit power betweensaid elements.

2. Ln apparatus of the class described, in. combination, a drivingelement, a driven element, a power transmitting member be- -tween saidelements, and in permanent the injury due to the use of hammers,v

combination, a supporting structure, a first tion with one of saidshafts, and adjustable thereabout until it comes into power transmittingrelation with the other said shaft.

5. In apparatus of the class described, in combination, a power drivenshaft, a rotatable driving member upon said shaft, a

second shaft, a rotatable driven member thereon, a device mounted onsaid second shaft, a power transmitting member mounted on said device,and cooperating with said driven member to permit said device to berotated to swing about said second shaft into a position in which saidtransmitting member transmits power from said-driving member to saiddriven member and a casing member partially inclosing said transmissionand leaving a portion of said power transmitting member exposedtowardsaid driving member.
